Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional item creation instructions are provided without dynamic feedback, then the instruction delivery is simple and straightforward, but the user cannot accurately track item components or ensure consistent following of instructions
Solution Approach 1:
The system captures images of the workspace, detects item components using image processing, compares detected components against expected components from the interactive template, and provides real-time feedback to the user about deviations from the correct assembly process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual tracking and verification methods with an automated computer vision system that uses cameras, image processing algorithms, and machine learning models to detect and track item components
2Adaptability or versatility
If static templates are used for item creation, then the template structure is simple and easy to implement, but the system cannot adapt when deviations occur or provide real-time corrective actions
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses dynamic interactive templates that can adjust and adapt during the item creation process. The templates are updated in real-time based on detected deviations, providing corrective actions and guidance to help users return to the correct assembly path
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-defines correct assembly sequences and expected component configurations in the interactive templates, allowing it to quickly compare actual user actions against predetermined correct procedures and provide immediate corrective feedback
3Manufacturing precision
If real-time image processing and deviation detection are implemented, then accurate tracking and feedback are achieved, but computational resources and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system processes only the most critical and relevant portions of the captured images for deviation detection, focusing computational resources on key assembly steps and components rather than analyzing every pixel of the entire workspace
4Measurement precision
If computer vision processing and infrared data analysis are used for real-time feedback, then deviation detection accuracy is improved, but the complexity of data processing and system requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the complex task of deviation detection into separate processing streams: one for analyzing visible light images and another for processing infrared data. Each stream handles specific types of information independently, and their results are integrated to provide comprehensive feedback
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for computer-guided item creation and interaction include causing display of item creation templates and directions for creating an item from an object. Image data and infrared data is collected and utilized during item creation to determine user movement deviations and object shape deviations from the directions to provide real time corrective guidance and to determine how to augment the templates and/or directions. Once created, the item is analyzed to determine differences between it and a reference item such that displayed content is augmented when the created item is interacting with a surface.
